Connectedness

Checking connectedness of airports

Weakly and Strongly Connected Components

Computing Average Shortest Path Length

Average Shortest Path Length for the largest strongly connected sub-graph
Average Shortest Path Length for the largest weakly connected sub-graph
From the above analysis, we can infer that the average shortest path length is less for the weakly connected subgraphs, even though the no of edges per node is higher in the strongly connected subgraphs.

Density of a network

Visualising the Degree of Nodes in the whole graph

Diameter & Radius

Note: Diameter and Radius of weakly connected component will be infinity

Diameter represents the greatest possibe no of airports between any two aiports, we can infer that a max of 14 airports are between any two airports in the strongly connected sub-graph
Radius represents an airport from which every other airport is at a minimum no of airports apart, we can infer that every airport is away from a minimum of 7 airports to every other airports

Periphery and Center

Analysing the Strongly connected Component

Finding out the nodes which are connected to most of the other nodes where the shortest path of length = diameter of strongly connected component

Finding out the nodes which are connected to most of the other nodes where the shortest path of length = radius of strongly connected component

Analysis & Results

Visualising the Air Route & Aiport Network of India

Top 20 airlines that fly in and out of India

  1. JET Airways and AIR INDIA are the undisputed leaders in international flights
  2. Emirates comes a close third. Top 4 operators make up 50 % of the total share.
  3. The top 10 operators is dominated by middle east flight operators.

Visualising Month-wise Passenger Traffic & Quarter-wise Passenger Traffic

  1. Q1 is undoubtedly the best quarter for air traffic in India
  2. There is not much difference when we look at other quarter numbers.

Visualising the Rate of change of Passenger Traffic

  1. We already saw that Q1 has a lion's share of passenger traffic to and from India
  2. Looking at Q1 numbers over 3 years, we can see that passenger traffic has been increasing both ways.
  3. Passengers flying in to India has increased by 18.5% over 3 years whereas Passngers flying out from India has increased by 16.3%.

Visualising the Quarterly traffic of top 10 airlines

  1. The top 4 remain the same during all 4 quarters.
  2. Infact the ratio of traffic between the top 10 airlines is almost the same
  3. Qatar Airways earns a spot in the top 10 in the last quarter.

Visualising City-wise traffic based on departure and arrivals

Top 100 airport pairs with highest traffic inflow and outflow combined

Below is a snapshot of 20 of them

Graphical depiction of busiest airport pairs

  1. Dubai - Mumbai is arguably the busiest route with a whopping 4.5 million passengers flying both ways in 3 years
  2. Take a look a the table below the graph. Flights fly in and out of Dubai to 5 Indian cities of the top 10 airport pairs.
  3. A considerable number of flights fly in an out of London and (Delhi, Mumbai)
